OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given careful consideration to the
appellants’ specification and claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellants and the examiner.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and the
appellants regarding the above-noted rejection, we make reference to the Examiner's
Answer (Paper No.13, mailed October 2, 1995) for the examiner's complete reasoning in
support of the rejection, and to the appellants’ Brief (Paper No. 11, filed July 21, 1995) and
Supplement to Appeal Brief (Paper No. 16, filed January 26, 1999) for the appellants’
arguments thereagainst. As a consequence of our review, we make the determinations
which follow.
2Klasson was made of record in the Information Disclosure Statement filed March
8, 1994, (Paper No. 3).
